JWest

The JWest Community Campaign is officially underway 🚀
Are you in yet?

After years of planning and working together, we’re getting close to breaking ground 🏗️

Over $150 million has already been raised — with just a small distance left to go.

With $18 million remaining, we’re inviting the entire community to be part of this moment 🤝

Every contribution helps shape a new campus — built for our community, and for the future of Oakridge.

Momentum is building. This is the moment to come together and bring it to life.
